"It’s incredible how misunderstood Jake English is as a character, even when he’s Ted Lasso in 2022."

I think the ethos of the Nolan Batman movies can be summarized by the scene in The Dark Knight where Alfred recounts his story of working for the avowedly corrupt military government of Burma (gee I wonder why Alfred was in former British colony Burma in his youth) in trying to find a jewel thief who was interrupting their bribes paid to tribal leaders, and when he discovers the thief wasn't stealing the jewels out of outright self-interest the only other plausible explanation is that the thief was an evil chaos guy who just loves crime, because there would be no other reason to steal from a corrupt military dictatorship during a period of popular resistance and insurgency. Hence "some men just want to watch the world burn" lol.

The latest print design, Gamzee Makara hanging around on a pole in a forgotten Alternian park. The graffiti behind Gamzee says "Highblood" in Alternian (the new version used for the games), and on the posters are the snatches seen from "Rebel" in red, and "Obey Your Empress" in the fuchsia.

Homestuck / Meteorstuck / DaveKat

Prologue

Dave had always assumed that at the very least, he'd have the sanctuary of his own mind. Turned out, even the gates to that were shaky at best. [Your friendly neighborhood Meteorstuck, DaveKat-centric chapter-fic, with a bit of a twist. Pan-Quadrant romance and dream bubble adventures.]

what do you think about hal is he good evil or just misunderstood thoughts??

Hal as in Whomstve Hal?

Here's my problem: I am, like, the One Person in the fandom who just doesn't find Hal all that interesting. I get what's going on, but I'm not invested, maybe because I spent all my Super Invested points on Jane and Jake when others don't find them as interesting.

Hal is not "evil" though or misunderstood, IMO, because that implies there is a Correct way to interpret him.

That said, I do consider a Litmus Test of Did You Actually Understand Act 6 to be the simple question of: Who orchestrated Synchronize/Unite? Because if you think it was Dirk, then I would recommend rereading the opening three acts of Act 6 again.

The entire Synch/Unite thing is, to me, the one of the two interesting things Hal does. The S/U deal is this ultimate devil's bargain that Dirk strikes to save everyone. Hal will direct him and get everyone back alive again... but in return, Hal is going to kiss Jake first. Which is in of itself a Complicated price, given the animosity between Hal and Jake, and how Jake does understand more than pretty much anyone what Hal truly is... but covers it up with obfuscation to avoid how uncomfortable it makes him.

But I'm also of the opinion that Jake's belief in Dirk, his Hope Bullshit, is partially why the AR project even succeeded, and I find his culpability in it fascinating. Dirk and Jake keep making surrogate children out of their powers, it's hilarious.

Anyway, the other thing Hal does that's interesting is the Suicide Conversation on the rooftop, which to me is fascinating because as Dirk gets angrier and angrier (on some level rightly imo) at Hal's manipulations, the trump card that Hal pulls is "Of course I'm scared of dying, aren't you?"

Because Dirk isn't scared of dying. He categorically proves this so frequently that it's arguably one of his core character traits. He kills himself in Synch-Unite, he considers his dream self hella expendable, he kills himself in the Game Over timeline, he has no problem killing himself on the slabs of Derse but can't bear to hurt Roxy (even when its literally the Right Choice in the moment and impermanent besides), he kills himself in [S] Collide to defeat the Jacks--

Dirk Strider is not afraid of dying. But Hal is, and that is proof that Hal and Dirk are not even remotely the same person, that they diverged long ago. And IMO that's part of why Dirk goes "fuck it" and prototypes Hal, because that's not him. If Hal was just another splinter of Dirk, he'd just kill him(/himself) again, no big deal. But Hal is not a Dirk anymore.

Anyway, I guess to sum up: I unfortunately mostly like Hal in the ways he is Not Dirk. That's the interesting shit.
